Group Therapy

Overcoming Overeating/ Emotional Eating

A group for adult women that combines the work of Susie Orbach, Geneen Roth and others, as well as Dr. Lisë Osvold’s own insights, to help participants find peace with food. The group includes a mindfulness and educational component, as well as help learning to identify and manage the feelings that commonly lead to emotional eating.

Participants Will Learn:

  • Why they overeat or binge-eat
  • Why dieting is most likely to make their overeating problem worse
  • What physiological, psychological and emotional factors contribute to their tendency to overeat or binge, and how to manage them
  • What they are really hungry for (when it’s not food)
  • How diet-think has hindered their recovery
  • The practice of curiosity and self-compassion as critical to overcoming binge eating
  • That they can arrive at a place where they can eat the foods they love without binging on them
  • Tuesday evenings, 6:15-7:30pm

Interpersonal Process Group

For men and women 18 and older who find relationships challenging, this group offers an opportunity to identify with others’ struggles, to experiment with different ways of communication, and to try out new behaviors.

Participants Will Learn:

  • Since members often experience the same difficulties in group that they have elsewhere, the group can give support, offer suggestions, or provide gentle confrontation
  • This process group fosters a new perspective and richness that cannot be duplicated in individual therapy alone
  • Tuesdays noon-1:30pm/ Wednesday evenings 6:15-7:30pm
